Banky W appreciates wife for supporting him during pornography addiction.
Musician and politician Bankole Wellington, better known as Banky W, has taken a moment to express gratitude to his wife Adesua Etomi-Wellington during a church sermon for standing by him during his pornography addiction.
On Sunday, June 25, 2023, the singer and preacher thanked his wife before openly speaking about his former fight with pornography in a sermon titled “The Prison of Pornography.”
“If I don’t thank God for anything in my life, I thank God for this woman,” he said while pointing at his wife, Adesua Etomi in the front row.
Banky W emphasised the significance of having a reliable companion, whilst urging the congregation to do so. “Pick the right person that you can talk to”, he advised them.
In his speech, he discussed his struggles, stressing instances when, in order to maintain his resolve and resist the temptation to view adult videos, he would constantly contact his wife and chat with her on the phone for extended periods of time.
As Banky W preached to the congregation, he likened the human brain to a powerful machine saying, “You decide which thoughts to focus on. You decide what comes in, what goes out, what gets to stay.”
He went on to explain how to resist the urge.
In his words, “You can not wheel a thought out of your mind. You can’t get it out of your mind because it has been suggested to you. You can only replace it with a more powerful thought. You can only replace the thoughts that the devil suggests with a truth that God says, so you’ll renew your mind with the words of God.”
